A term used mostly by Filipinos for two people who obviously like each other, but have not yet committed to a relationship. So both parties are still free to go out on dates with other people.

It's a vague area between being friends and boyfriend/girlfriend.

Basically, it's like an open relationship.

(Shortcut: MU)
Guy1: Dude, is Jess your girlfriend?

Dude 1: bro, I saw your girl last night with other guy and they getting frisky for being tipsy
